David Barsamian to speak in Olympia, Thursday, October 25th.

“Targeting Iran: U.S. Foreign and Military Policy in the Middle East: Iran, Iraq, and Palestine-Israel”

David Barsamian is the author of the recently published book, Targeting Iran, which also includes contributions from Noam Chomsky, Erwand Abrahamian and Nahid Mozaffari.
